Extraordinary transmission through a silver film perforated with cross shaped hole arrays in a square lattice

Abstract

In this work, the transmission through cross shaped hole with different sizes but the same lattice constant was measured with the polarized light to investigate the variation of localized charge oscillation around the hole. The comparison between the transmission intensities through the similarly arranged periodic hole array with different hole shapes, i.e., cross, square, and rectangular, were also measured. The cross shaped hole gives rise to a larger transmission of light than those perforated with square or rectangular hole.
